Outrun the Wind ~ Review

So the other day, i was able to snag an arc of Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi for a honest review!

I am a lover of mythology and this book definitely brought me that. Elizabeth Tammi clearly did lots of research to make this book as accurate and amazing as she possible could. This book was quick and definitely an easy read, especially perfect for the summer time.

The story follows two girls, both huntresses. One who belongs to the hunt of Artemis named Kahina and the other named Atalanta who discovers she is a lost princess/royalty.

Since the story was told from 2 POVs it got kinda confusing sometimes but i was able to sort out who was talking after a bit.

In the book, Atalanta, with the help of Kahina creates a foot race challenge to avoid marrying the suitors that her father brought to the kingdom. Atalanta, the fastest in the lands, races all the suitors that come her way but unable to race the last. This part is definitely where a major part of the myth comes into play! you don’t really need to know the Greek myth of Atalanta before hand but if you do, it will create an even greater depth in the story.

"It has always been the tale of a wild girl seeking to carve her own fate in a world designed to restrain her"

Elizabeth Tammi did a wonderful job of creating a old Greek style fantasy world. I loved how the Greek myth, Atalanta, was used in this story since its quite and uncommon myth.

Overall this book was filled with twists and turns! although it was her debut novel, it was jam packed with Greek myths and interesting plots. A 4 star read for me! I would definitely recommend this to whoever is a fan of Greek mythology, fantasy or LGBT reads.

Enjoy your reading!
